University College gets new designation
Construction to begin on shopping center
University College has a new name. And along with that new name is a new dedication of its purpose to provide an opportunity for adults to attend college part-time in the afternoons and evenings.
University College was established by the Board of Trustees in 1924 and it was designed to “provide mature persons with opportunities during late afternoon and evening hours to do part-time college-level work for cultural and intellectual improvement, for advancement in business or professional fields, or for completing requirements for degrees or credentials.”
In that time, University College has provided many people holding full-time jobs to take courses here and receive degrees.
Now recognizing the increased interest in adult education, and the return to college of working people, retired persons, and women whose children are grown. University College is the new College of Continuing Education.
Paul Hadley, who has been dean of University College and the summer session for many years, will continue as dean of the College of Continuing Education.
The college will encompass both the evening school and the summer school, which serve undergraduate and graduate students as well as special degree and non-degree seeking students and many other campus units.
Forty degree programs are available to evening students attending courses on a part-time basis. Twelve undergraduate and 28 graduate degree programs offer sufficient evening courses on campus, at the Civic Center campus downtown, or at other off-campus extension centers, to enable students to complete degrees without attending the university full-time or during daytime hours.
Each degree is fully accredited because USC makes no distinction in terms of quality or acceptability among daytime, evening, summer, or extension credit courses.
All part-time degree programs are closely integrated with traditional curricula through the academic departments or professional schools of the university. The admissions and graduation standards in all external and evening programs are the same for regular, full-time resident curricula. Faculty members are approved by the established
academic units of the university and most of them hold professional rank.
Some of the new degree programs recently instituted are a Master of Science in film education and a Master of Liberal Arts, which is designed to provide cultural enrichment and discovery through liberal studies for persons whose formal collegiate education and professional training are largely completed.
Graduate degree programs are also offered throughout California in education, engineering, and public administration. The Public Administration Center in the state capital in Sacramento is being expanded to serve as the base for programs in other fields as well.
The School of International Relations and the Institute of Aerospace Safety and Management offer degree programs in off-campus study centers.
The School of Engineering offers courses for both degree and continuing education purposes broadcast to classrooms in industry over the Norman Topping Interactive Instructional Television System.
Other divisions ofthe College of Continuing Education include the extension and community service division, which serves part time students through both external degree and non-credit courses; the public broadcasting division, which produces the television Odyssey series and is developing a major capacity for the electronic delivery of university academic programs;
The English Communication program for foreign students; and experimental admissions program for “high risk” students; an alumni continuing education office; a degree completion program for military personnel; and instruction in Air Force and Navy ROTC units.
More programs falling under the college are the Haynes Foundation Drug Research Center; the summer Mini-College, which provides educational and recreational activities for neighborhood youth; the Institute on Planning Education, which is a continuing education activity of the graduate program on Urban and Regional Planning; seminars on environmental impact reports, and a series of coastal zone and oceanographic studies administered for the Sea Grant Program.
Former head of job placement center, alumna die recently
The rosary for Florence Watt of Beverly Hills, who died suddenly of a heart attack on August 5. was recited last Friday at her residence.
Requiem mass will follow later in St. Louis, with interment there.
Watt headed what is now the Career Planning and Placement Center on campus for 20 years. She helped launch literally thousands of students into business and professional careers before retirement from the position in 1966.
First, however, she helped develop the tools which made the whole process of job placement more efficient. She founded and was the first president of the Western College Placement Association and was widely recognized for her contribu-
tions to vocational placement in the West and in the nation.
She was also the first woman ever elected to membership in the Personnel and Industrial Relations Association.
Watt was also founder-member of the USC and Arizona chapters ofthe Newman Club, a Catholic student organization, and the USC chapter of Gamma Phi Beta sorority.
Under the late Rufus B. von KleinSmid. W7att served as an assistant and was then assigned to the vocational placement office here then.
She worked to find part-time jobs for World War II veterans at first, and saw her office grow to serve 10.000 students and alumni and some 1.700 employers annually.
Hazel Tucker Sparling, widow of Ray Sparling, died August 5 in Newport.
The Sparlings were alumni of tJSC. Mr. Sparling was former president of USC’s General Alumni Association and an alumni memberofthe Board of Trustees from 1967 to 1970.
Mrs. Sparling belonged to USC Associates, President’s Circle, General Alumni Association. Town and Gown. Cardinal and Gold, Friends of the Library, Cinema Circulus, and ISOMATA Associates.
She also worked with Five Acres, a boys and girls aid society, a philanthropy connected with the Kappa Alpha Theta alumni chapter of Pasadena, a sorority she was affiliated with while at USC.
The Community Redevelopment Agency has made official the conveyance of land for the $12.5 million University Village Shopping center to be located in the Hoover Urban Renewal Project.
The official conveyance of the land, so that actual con-struction^can begin, was made to the Hoover Community Development Corporation. The owner participation group operating University Village is headed by Morrie Notrica, owner of the Thirty-Second Street market and other local businesses.
The new shopping center will encompass 14.6 acres and is bounded by Jefferson Boulevard, Hoover Street, 30th Street, and McClintock Avenue, and is immediately north of campus.
In anticipation ofthe opening ofthe center in the spring of 1974, a great deal of public improvements are being made.
Portions of Hoover, 30th, 32nd, and Royal Streets will be widened and repaired. This will include new curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and driveways.
A public mall will be constructed along University
Avenue to extend the existing pedestrian mall from 32nd Street to Jefferson Boulevard, in addition to the street improvements.
The work will be completed by installation of a variety of trees along the streets and the mall in brick planters.
New street lights will be installed, and all improvements will be done at no expense to residents.
Security Pacific Bank and the Bank of America, both who will have office facilities in the new center, have already begun construction of their branch offices. They will probably move into their buildings sometime this fall.
The rest of the shopping center, designed as an open mall oriented to both the local community and to the student population, will be based on a village atmosphere with European, Western, and Mediterranean styles.
A 55-foot high clock tower will mark the Hoover Street entrance while an outdoor bandstand and aviary will set off the main courtyard.
There will be parking area for 600 cars.
Congress of Strings will present final concert Friday night

tor for this year’s Congress of Strings.
